[Verse 1]
D                          G          D
Every time it rains Lord I run to my window
                                    A
All I do is just wring my hands and moan
    D                                      G                 D
And listen to that thunder, Lord can't you hear the lonesome wind moan?
                 A                 D
Tell me baby now why you been gone so long?


[Chorus]
D                                 G                         D
Tell me baby why you been gone so long? you've been gone so long now
                               A
Tell me baby why you been gone so long?
  D                                                   G                  D
A wolf is scratching at my door, Lord, Lord And I can hear that lonesome wind moan
                 A                    D
Tell me baby now why you've been gone so long?


[Verse 2]
D                                       G               D
Somebody said they thought they saw you roarin' down in Reno
                              A
With a big ol' man from San Antone
          D                              G                D
They tell me I'm a fool, to pine for you but what do they know?
                 A                 D
Tell me baby now why you been gone so long?


[Chorus]
D                                 G                         D
Tell me baby why you been gone so long? you've been gone so long now
                               A
Tell me baby why you been gone so long?
  D                                                   G                  D
A wolf is scratching at my door, Lord, Lord And I can hear that lonesome wind moan
                 A                    D
Tell me baby now why you've been gone so long?


[Verse 3]
D                              G                  D
Ain't nothin' I wanna do Lord, so I guess I could get stoned
                                      A
And let the past paint pictures in my head
D                                          G              D
And kill a fifth of a thunderbird Lord and try to write a sad, sad song
                 A                 D
Tell me baby now why you been gone so long?


[Chorus]
D                                 G                         D
Tell me baby why you been gone so long? you've been gone so long now
                               A
Tell me baby why you been gone so long?
  D                                                   G                  D
A wolf is scratching at my door, Lord, Lord And I can hear that lonesome wind moan
                 A                    D
Tell me baby now why you've been gone so long?
